    Synopsis

    In the vast infinity of Siberia, there are regions without the possibility to buy anything. Apart from few farmers selling potatoes and cucumber, the inhabitants of the Tundra rely on Wagon Lovka: This train provides the only incessant maintenance with its shop on board, selling anything one needs: Flour and sugar, medicine and sanitary articles, beer and vodka, screws, nails and tools. On its long tour, Wagon Lovka trails across Russian steppe to the far side of Ural and beyond. The film accompanies the sales woman Olga on this long journey and with her, we meet many interesting and quite different people and stories alongside the rail.
